Cranfield University Advanced Air Mobility Systems MSc.
CASE STUDY
Cranfield MSc
- Client: Cranfield University
- Sector: Air Traffic Management & Future Air Mobility & Aerospace and Defence
Background
The Cranfield University Advanced Air Mobility Systems (AAMS) MSc is designed to equip students with skills and knowledge to introduce new automated and autonomous solutions, to enable a safe, orderly and expeditious integrated airspace. It covers subjects in ATM, Uncrewed Traffic Management (UTM), enabling sensor infrastructure (communications, navigation, surveillance), sensor fusion and artificial intelligence for autonomous systems.
Ebeni’s support
Since its inception in 2022, under a 5-year contract, Ebeni has been supporting Cranfield University in running part of the Introduction to the AAMS module.
The aim of this module is to provide an overview of the course, and to introduce the main aspects of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and Autonomous Systems underpinning the course, including Systems Engineering principles, safety and regulatory considerations.
Over a duration of two days, Ebeni introduces Systems Engineering (requirements, stages of system design and development, architecture etc), Safety Analysis and Management (risk modelling, system safety analysis, failure modes and allocation of safety targets etc), Model-Based System and Software Engineering, Certification considerations, Safety Management Systems and Safety Culture, in the context of autonomous systems in ATM and UTM.
Our approach uses a blend of experiences from various areas of aerospace and Air Traffic Management, including the following:
- Policy, regulations, standards and guidance for safety, assurance and certification
- Systems engineering and programme management
- Civil and military sources and technical and operational experience
